I also mentioned I'd attend the BMWCCA/BMWNA meeting next week and make it known what kind of treatment their dealership gives to loyal BMW enthusiast customers. If they didn't resolve it TODAY.

I said this calmly to the sales manager, but not particularly quietly, so it was definitely overheard by the sales staff. It was matter of fact, but determined.

They called me back a half an hour later and said that they tried to change the original allocation back to my order specs, but it was too late (not sure if that's bullshit or not).

So they took an allocation from one of their sister dealerships (some other poor soul getting screwed?) for a July build, and gave it to me. They gave me the new production number.

I suppose I have no reason to trust they won't pull this out from under me as well, but I'm hopeful it works out. If it does, I'll still never set foot in that store again after I take delivery, but I won't go all medieval via correspondence, either.

I fucking hate car stores.

Hey, congrats... assuming it holds.

So how much will this delay delivery?

Plaz, you should tell them that a delay is OK, as long as they throw in two airline tickets so you can do ED!!!

About a month, I guess.

Glad to hear that you resolved the situation

Let's hope that it "sticks" this time.

Too awesome - wanna bring it to Lime Rock for vintage fest, labor day weekend? You can do a parade lap or two, or three - you'll have a somewhat "rare" car. :-)
